Kalamaki Resort

Resorts on Zante

Surreal sunset on the 14th May:

It was a hot and very hazy day on Sunday, but the cloud shifted before sunset giving this display. This is straight from the camera and hasn't been enhanched in any way.

New things in Kalamaki for 2017:

Quite a lot of changes in Kalamaki this year. Regular visitors might be interested to see what's new.

Hermes car rental is going to have a new shop across the road from Buon Amici. The view as you approach the centre of Kalamaki from the airport road looks very different this year.

The Exotica hotel has new owners and is undergoing a major revamp.

This new construction has a pool area and is next to probably connected to the Venus Hotel next door.

The ever-expanding Caretta Beach Hotel has a new block being constructed next to the airport road.

In front of (but not run by) the Caretta Beach Hotel is the new Dannys Place Restaurant.

Friends Bar replaces the old PnP.

Zakanthi Restaurant now has a Music 111 Bar.

Kalamaki Summary:

Kalamaki has changed quite a bit over the years and the resort is now spread out over a fairly large area. Fortunately most of the development has been concentrated on the main Kalamaki to Laganas road leaving the beach area and back roads relatively undisturbed. The original character of the resort is still there. The bars, restaurants and people who first made it popular are still here. It's the closest resort to the airport and although there are no night flights, several planes land just after 6.00 AM. Only the western part of the resort is affected and otherwise the resort is fairly quiet and relaxing. It's a good location on the island, close to Laganas, Zante Town and Argassi.

Couples and families will find
a comfortable base with twin
rooms, as well as studio and
one bedroom apartments that
are both welcoming and modern,
and onsite facilities that
include a swimming pool, snack
bar, and fun games in high
season
